🐶 Dog Everyday · 2 min
How much exercise does my dog need?
Walking, sniffing, playing.
Every dog is different
How much exercise a dog needs depends on breed, age and health. A young herding dog needs much more than an older pug.
Brain work counts too
Sniffing, search games and little tricks are tiring too. A walk with lots of sniffing is often worth more than a fast run.
Don't overdo it with puppies
Puppies need short rounds and lots of sleep. A common rule of thumb is about five minutes of walking per month of age at a time.
Rest is just as important
Adult dogs sleep and rest for a large part of the day. Too much programme can also be stressful.
In shortThe right mix of exercise, sniffing and rest makes a dog content.
